Mark 8:34-38

WPNT(i) 34 He summoned the crowd, along with His disciples, and said to them: “Whoever wants to follow along behind me must deny himself and take up his cross and follow me. 35 Because whoever may resolve to ‘save’ his life will waste it; but whoever may ‘waste’ his life for my sake and the Gospel’s, he will save it. 36 Well, what will it profit a man if he gains the whole world, yet forfeits his soul? 37 Or what can a man give in exchange for his soul? 38 Yes, whoever is ashamed of me and my words in this adulterous and sinful generation, the Son of Man will also be ashamed of Him whenever He comes in the glory of His Father with the holy Angels.”
